Most Popular Types of Entertainment

This is a type of list that I have been more interested in, I always thought that the most popular type of entertainment was music but as it turns out things are changing half of this list is also with celebrities and their popularity status.
The Top Ten
1 Video Games

Let me explain why video games are the best.

A book allows you to hear a story.
A movie allows you to see a story.
A game allows you to experience and control a story.

You see, in a video game, YOU are the main character whether it be Mario, Link, Red etc. In a game, YOU are the one experiencing a whole new world. YOU get to do what you want without many limitations. In a video game, the experience is yours, and that is something a book or a movie can never do. Due to this, they are a lot more meaningful too. For example, a book or movie can tell me meaningful things. But a game can let you figure that out for yourself. It's a huge gaming world out there, so why not dive into it and start a brand new adventure!

PS: I would suggest Pokemon or Zelda.

In 2017 over 500M people watched 72.4B hours of other people playing video games on Twitch and YouTube. eSports without a bout is the #1 form of entertainment in the world. The eSports economy has also surpassed $1B last year and is only growing. My company Virtual2Reality.T.V. hosts eSports Racing tournaments that place online drivers in real world race cars. we've seen amazing growth in the gaming sector as the ability to live stream then archive for replays allows for viewers to tune in at any time. These analytics from the videos provides opportunities for advertisers and funding for the gaming entities. This combination will only help every aspect to grow. Now that Facebook has launched their version for gaming and streaming, it's only going to climb higher with Facebook's ability to notify people of possible interest in a new live event. Skies the limit for eSports and there is no end in sight.

Yeah they are probably the most popular, with mobile games now. Not to mention almost everyone has a gaming console now whether it be a playstation or a 3DS. Also in my opinion games are the best medium of entertainment because it is the only one that can shape experiences unique to the player, which can make for some really fun gameplay or meaningful stories.

It has everything: stories, levels, plenty of action, and great music soundtracks. You can pick whatever genre of gaming you like: sports, adventure, role-playing, and so many more. My favorite game is Minecraft.

2 Music

Music can be understand as a universal entertainment. It can be found almost in every type of entertainment on this list and without music almost nothing would be the same

Music is something we have always had, it inspires and motivates people and it is truly amazing!

Music outclassed every types of entertainment.

Way better than anything!

3 Movies

Movies are the best passive way to consume and to experience a story. A film can make you cry or smile with no need of interaction or control on the story. Movies is the best way to sit your butt on the coach and live a universe

I prefer films the best as it is the pice of entertainment that closely resembles the best art form: paintings.

Movies make the world of reality realise there's no point in living without a little creativity

4 Travel
5 Sports

Sports are the best b/c they challenge you on the physical and mental level. Who doesn't want to win or be on the winning team? Second place means you are 1st loser.

I love sports, just as much as music and movies.

This should be in 4th

6 TV
7 Writing

The most excellent form of art. Most things such as movies, T.V. shows, video game plots and so on would be useless without this. Everyone is influenced by writing in one way or another. Think of it this way. Steven Spielberg would be no good if he didn't have a plot from some of the books he's turned into films. That's a fact.

Reading is better.

8 Reading
9 Dining
10 Computer

The computer can access all of these, other than sports, dining and traveling

The Contenders
11 Anime

Anime is much better than movies, movies and T.V. shows can't even compare to the story and imagination that the anime gives in various genre

You just can't describe anime in couple of sentences. from cooking to fighting, from gambling to music, you will find a complete package of action, comedy and any genre you can name.

For me it's the best form of entertainment, especially action animes
